In __damon_va_three_regions(), the VMA tree is traversed without
checking if the address space is stable. If the OOM reaper runs
concurrently, it may mark the mm as MMF_UNSTABLE and leave empty
markers in the maple tree.
Add a check_stable_address_space(mm) call before iterating over
the VMAs to avoid potential NULL pointer dereferences.
